Chocolate Chip Banana Bread Donuts

Unbelievably tasty chocolate chip banana bread donuts! Moist, fluffy and super chocolatey and they only take 10 minutes to bake!

I have a very important announcement….

These donuts only take 5 MINUTES TO PREP AND 10 MINUTES TO BAKE! Guyyyyyss I am being serious here. Is there any other yummy baked treat you can make in 15 minutes? Ok fine pre-cut cookies but let’s be real, homemade always tastes better. Am I right?

You are going to LOVE how easy these Chocolate Chip Banana Bread Donuts are to make! On a quick side note, do we know if it’s “donuts” or “doughnuts”? Anyways, these gooey, moist, chocolatey donuts are “lick the melted chocolate off your plate afterwards” kinda good.

My secret (or not so secret because I pretty much use it in all my desserts) ingredient is PEANUT BUTTER. I am pretty sure I am the queen of putting nut butters in my desserts (and also maybe my recipes in general). If you love nut butters as much as me, comment your FAV type below!! Are you an almond or peanut butter kinda person? Or are you a little more off the beaten path with something like cashew butter? Anyways, putting nut butters in baked goods is always a good idea. My absolute fav brand (and what I used in this recipe) is NuttZo. All of their nut butters are insanely creamy and melt in your mouth. I used their Organic Peanut Pro Smooth in this recipe.

Once you’ve mixed it well so everything is combined, pour the batter into a large baggie then cut the corner.

Make sure to spray your donut pan with oil so they don’t stick then use the bag to fill each donut hole about 3/4 of the way full.

Bake them for about 9-11 minutes (until cooked through) and you’re done!

Is it just me or do you love food in fun shapes? Yes, I sound like a 5 year old but I have a point here so stay with me. Do you ever think about what makes a meal more pleasurable and satisfying? There’s more to food that just the nutritional value in it; which is crucial to understand if you want to have a healthy and relaxed relationship with food.

Food is meant to be nourishing AND pleasurable; not something to torture ourselves over. The colors, shapes, textures, smell, appearance, temperature and flavor all affect how pleasurable our eating experience can be. And greater pleasure in food leads to greater satisfaction overall.

So when you’re deciding what you want to eat, ask yourself the following questions:

If I could have absolutely anything in the world right now, what might that be?

How will it taste? Do I want something sweet, salty, bitter, sour, savory etc?

Do I want something crunch, smooth, creamy, liquid, etc?

Do I want something hot or cold?

Do I want something light and airy or more dense and filling?

How will I feel after I finish eating? Will I be satisfied? Will I have energy?

Tuning into what your body really wants and giving yourself unconditional permission to eat what you want ultimately results in variety and balanced food choices.

You’ll want to feel good and feeling good comes with listening to YOUR individual needs. Our bodies have bio-individual nutrition needs and checking in with YOUR body is what allows you to really listen to them.

Do you struggle to really listen to and trust your body?

Instructions

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

Lightly whisk egg in a large bowl. Add remaining ingredients and mix just until everything is combined into a batter. Save half of the chocolate for putting on top.

Spray donut pan with non-stick spray. Put the batter into a large plastic bag and cut the corner. Use the bag to pour the batter into each donut hole in a circle. Fill about 3/4 to the top. Top each of the donuts with the leftover chocolate chips.

Bake for about 9-11 minutes (until center is no longer runny).

Notes

These donuts are best warm so I recommend eating them shortly after baking. Or you can microwave them for 10-15 seconds to re-heat them and make the chocolate melty again.

I used this mini donut pan but any donut pan works; you just might need to adjust the bake time accordingly.

Any other nut butter would work like almond butter, cashew butter, etc. If you don’t like nut butter, tahini might work (sounds weird but I’ve used it in choc bread before and you can’t really taste it). Do you not like nut butters or are you allergic to nuts?
